Marlene’s cookbooks have made it possible for me to lose 45 pounds over the last 8 months. In the past I had dieted for a few weeks, felt deprived, and given up. With her recipes, I can “treat” myself to the food I love and still stay on the losing path. There’s never a need to cook unhealthy foods when Marlene Koch recipes are on the table!!

In addition to the 52.5 pounds I have lost by “eating what I love”, I have rediscovered my passion for cooking and for great food, thanks to you. I always tell people, “her recipes may be healthy, but that woman is all about taste!” Great food has finally put my weight loss efforts over the top!

I have type 2 diabetes and have lost 68 lbs. since cooking with Marlene’s recipes. Unbelievably, my A1c is now at 5.8 when it was once at 8.9! I am so grateful to have found your totally delicious cookbooks!

Eat What You Love is my bible!!! It has transformed my husband’s and my life. He is no longer a borderline diabetic, has lost 30 pounds and gotten off his high blood pressure medication, while I have lost over 50 pounds, dropped six pant sizes, and am off my cholesterol medication. Thanks to you and your incredible recipes, I am healthy, fit, feel wonderful and am eating fabulous food! Thank you again and again and again Marlene!

My friend bought Eat What You Love– then she made a big mistake . . . she brought it to my house for me to see it. It has never left my home!!! I have literally shelves full of cookbooks. Eat What You Love is without exception my favorite everyday go-to cookbook. You have created the manual for putting delicious yet healthy food on the table for the whole family. Thank you!

This cookbook is the best purchase I have ever made! I bought it about a month ago and have tried several different drinks and dishes from it and I have yet to find anything that I did not like. My family members are very impressed with it as well. I have several cookbooks and so far this cookbook is used far more times than any of the others that I have. I will be buying more copies to give as gifts to friends and family.

I’ve been a diabetic for 40 yrs and food has never tasted so good. I’m also following Weight Watchers so the added points make life very easy. My husband can not tell that he is eating healthy food. I keep this cookbook out on my counter all the time. Terrific! I can’t say enough about it. Everyone should have this cookbook.
Erving 5/05
Love, love, love this book. Yes, we are weight watching and the book does give Weight Watchers points, but even if your not this is just good food that happens to be good for you. After my purchase I had family and friends wanting the book.

I don’t say this about too many things but, I absolutely love this cookbook. I started using it from day one and have made several dishes from it for my family. So far, everything has been delicious. I’ve even started planning my weekly meals and grocery shopping using the wide variety of recipes in the book . Eat What You Love” makes eating healthy very easy to do. I’m ordering two more books to give as gifts. I hope that we continue to see more cookbooks from Marlene Koch.”I need to lose weight and it has just about been impossible, even with portion control. I’ve been using Marlene’s recipes for a little more than a week and have lost 5 #. I’m so encouraged. I never feel hungry and always have something good to eat. It is just fantabulous. I would highly recommend this book to everyone.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book! I started off with Marlene’s Sensational Splenda recipes and those were great so I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this cookbook. It was definitely worth the wait! I have made many recipes so far and everything has turned out wonderfully. I used to never cook; hated to. Her recipes are easy to follow and not complicated, and the ingredients are easy to find. I’m already losing weight within a few weeks of making these recipes. No longer want or crave fast food. This book has changed my way of eating and I feel healthier.

This is the best cookbook I’ve ever purchased. Just by following it I’ve lost weight. Every dish I have made is very tasty. I would recommend it to everyone. I have purchased several of these as gifts for friends who have found diet food boring and they also rave about the receipes.

EAT WHAT YOU LOVE: MORE THAN 300 INCREDIBLE RECIPES LOW IN SUGAR, FAT AND CALORIES comes from an author who combines her love of food and culinary skills with a background in nutrition to re-create favorite dishes. All recipes are quick – most under 30 minutes – and flavorful. Color photos and sidebars of information complete an appealing, wonderfully helpful package.
Midwest Book Review 6/18/2010
I have literally shelves full of cookbooks. Eat What You Love is without exception my favorite cookbook. It has become my go-to-cookbook. You have created a manual for putting delicious healthy food on the table. I can have a quality meal that I would be proud to serve not only to my husband — but to anyone that we have over for dinner — and quickly to boot. Thank you for making a healthy eating cookbook that produces dishes that are so good. No bland ‘diet food’ in this baby!!
Anne Davis 5/1/2010
We have started a new family tradition of a family get together for dinner on Sunday’s using your book. Last night we made the Chicken Parmesan and Cherry Berry Pie Cups. DELICIOUS! It was a HUGE hit. Thanks for delicious and easy to follow recipes.

Thank you for all the work you have put into your great recipes. I had gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago and have to watch the sugar content in everything I eat. Your recipes have given me many great meals that not only I enjoy, but my whole family does as well.

Your cookbooks have been wonderful. Using your recipes have helped to change our lives. My husband, Kevin was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in May 2007. His A1C was a 14.4 (yes 14.4) and as a result of education, lifestyle changes and using recipes from your cookbooks Kevin A1C was a 6.2 three months later. He continues to keep his A1C in the 6. range. With one of your fantastic recipes, we were even able to have the most wonderful wedding cake on September 7, 2008.
Edith Schlinder, Cabazon, California
Let me start by saying that not one of your recipes has been anything but DELICIOUS! ….OH MY GOSH are they YUMMY!!! As anyone who cares for someone with diabetes can attest, it is really hard to keep blood sugar levels within an acceptable level with regular recipes. You just cannot do it. So all of the really good stuff” like muffins, cookies, and cheesecake are totally off limits. With your recipes we all get to enjoy really great food that is actually HEALTHY for the ENTIRE Family and good enough to have family and friends ask when the next new recipes are coming so that they can be first in line for the taste tests!! THANK YOU.
Cindy Gunnels, Goldsboro, North Carolina
With Americans averaging 31 teaspoons of sugar a day, it’s time to get serious about cutting back! Marlene’s recipes help you do just that. With mouthwatering desserts that are just as sweet with little or no sugar, Marlene knows how to let you have your cake and eat it too.
Elizabeth Somer M.A., R.D., author of Eat Your Way to Happiness
I have NEVER written to an author before but had to send you a note. I am current Weight Watchers member having lost 46 pounds. I am now trying to balance my losing weight with diabetes and it is no easy task. It takes planning and a conscious effort to have good tasting food. You alone however have made a HUGE change in my life… you have made living healthy so much easier and delicious, not only for me but for my entire family. You’ll never know how much praise and thanks I give you.
Delores Hun-Thomas, Lanoka Harbor, New Jersey
I have your book Marlene Koch’s 375 Sensational Splenda Recipes and I am just absolutely amazed. I try something new 1-2 times per week, and make notes on each page after I try the recipe. Every single recipe I’ve tried has notes like “Fabulous!” “Incredible!” “The Best Dessert Ever!” …every single one. Your cookbook is the only one I ever reach for. I just wanted to thank you for superb work. I wish you were on the Food Network.
Sue Masterson, Littleton, Colorado
I’ve used the book every week since buying it and have effortlessly lost weight. The recipes are pure genius, combining replaced/decreased sugar with healthy eating principles such as low fat, low sodium. The coffee cake recipes alone are worth the book price and the recipes are adaptable; I added blueberries to the Simple Cinnamon Coffee cake recipe and got rave reviews. Everything I’ve made from this book tastes great.

Low-sugar diabetes baking has never been better. Marlene’s delicious recipes, ranging from Amazing Creampuffs to Unbelievable Chocolate Cake, fit easily into diabetes or low-calorie meal plans with taste and portion sizes that truly satisfy.

Thank you for all the work you have put into your great recipes. I had gastric bypass surgery 3 years ago and have to watch the sugar content in everything I eat. Your recipes have given me many great meals that not only I enjoy, but my whole family does as well.
Christine Osborne, San Francisco, California
I tried the Banana Muffins recipe in your book, Marlene Koch’s 375 Sensational Recipes, quite honestly expecting them to taste like diet food.” Wow! Was I ever surprised! I liked the muffins so much, I made them for friends and family who loved them so much they begged me to make more. My husband raved about the Banana Muffins to his doctor who promptly rushed out to buy the book for himself! This cookbook is the only one I have in my kitchen now (and my doctor says the same thing!).

You will not believe Marlene’s recipes are low in anything! It’s like she’s put a little bit of magic into each recipe. Not only do I make her recipes for myself, I am proud to serve them to my guests.”
James Decker, Executive Chef, Past Member of Team USA International Culinary Olympics
I just want to thank-you. I have enjoyed your books tremendously. They have helped both my husband and I lose weight and in my husband’s case keep his diabetes under control. Best of all we don’t have to give up anything, including the great taste of the foods we love.
Julia MacPete, San Diego, California
THIS IS IT! 10 years on Weight Watchers and I have never had cookbooks like this. For the first time I can bake all the things I love, have them taste and look great AND be low in points!I have an incurable sweet tooth that I have satisfied with lots of things like skinny cows and low fat ice cream but sometimes you just need real homebaked goodies! Especially for the holidays or birthdays. My hat’s definitely off to this author. A real bonus is that she doesn’t skimp on the portion sizes to get the calories low.
Other great info: Marlene gives you a lot of great nutrition information, baking and serving tips, and all the weight watching points. If you are diabetic the diabetic exchanges are included and the carbohydrate is very low. My sister has diabetes and is even more excited than me about what Marlene does. (She says these are very easy to fit into her meal plan.)
Joyce Jones, Austin, Texas
Thank-you for your Fantastic Cookbook. My son is a wrestler and has always had to struggle with his weight — until now! We have been using many of the recipes, and not only is he enjoying eating more than before, he no longer has to worry about gaining weight. He really looks forward to all your great recipes and I can be assured he is eating healthy. Thanks from our entire family. ” (We all enjoy the great food right along with him.)
